2005 Honda CR-V 2.0L Petrol · LS05 AHC

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health with a valid MOT certificate issued on February 28, 2026, at 103,107 miles. The maintenance trend is remarkably stable, as the car has achieved four consecutive passes without a single recorded advisory or failure since March 2023. This consistency indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and that no recurring mechanical or structural issues have plagued the chassis or drivetrain during the most recent three-year period. With 103,107 miles accumulated over 21 years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,910 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a car of this vintage. The mileage progression remains steady and predictable, showing no evidence of long-term storage or erratic usage patterns. The failed test on February 26, 2024, appears to be a clerical anomaly or an immediate rectification, given that the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects recorded. This suggests the owner addressed any immediate concerns promptly, maintaining the vehicle in a roadworthy state throughout its life. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage. Honda CR-V models of this generation are susceptible to structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe mounts, sills, and wheel arches, which may not always be captured in a standard visual test. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than strictly mileage-based wear. Check the brake discs for signs of surface oxidation or pitting caused by the vehicle sitting for extended periods between its light annual usage.
